Operation: The above parts of the aforesaid stone digger being puttogether in its proper construction and connection, as herein described,and particularly shown by Fig. 1, the said machine placed in its properposition for operation as also shown by Fig. 1, the operation andnovelty aforesaid may then be noted, by fastening the chain to thestone, in the ordinary manner, or by drilling shallow holes into thestone aforesaid, and hooking the points of the hooks on said chain intothem. Attach all or a portion of the team to the rope aforesaid, (at Lin Fig. l)

in the aforesaid invention and specificationto any particular size ofbed frame-to any particular height of derrick-to any particular size oftackle block, single or compound-to any size of aXletree or Windlassvoreven to the raising of stones as aforesaid and removing them from theirbeds, Without digging and blasting in the ordinary manner. Saidinvention may be used for removing stones in any practical locality andposition for the building of Walls and for other vuseful purposes.

What I claim as my invent-ion, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The construction of an axletree for stonedigger -in combination With thebedframe and. derrick-substantially, and for the purposes, and as setforth in the specification.
